Welcome!!! This is the first of these newsletters, so hello! I’m going to do a brief introduction so you know who I am (though my guess is you know me from twitter…) My name is Ai Miller, and I’m a 25-year-old graduate student studying history; more specifically, I think and write about queer and trans death, dying, and the political uses of death in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Because of this, I’m essentially paid to read. So right off the bat I will say: this is not about shaming you for not reading more, nor am I going to like talk high theory (I hope.) I ALSO do other stuff! I tweet too much (@closesandopens), I watch YouTube videos, listen to podcasts and watch the Star Wars prequels way too much.
